On Friday 24 January, IMDEA Energía moved to the classrooms of the Enrique Tierno Galván Secondary School in Leganés as part of the celebration of Environmental Education Day.

The purpose of this day is to raise awareness of current environmental problems and generate practical solutions in favour of nature from an early age.

Several researchers from the Biotechnological Processes and Thermochemical Processes units gave a presentation on their work to several groups of high school students, as well as setting up two practical workshops, one on the manufacture of biodiesel through the transesterification process and the other on the synthesis of bioplastics.
